Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Those bands are pretty bad. LOL I am excited to see the booth menus though! Yeah, but that's a very typical line up. As for the food booths, I have my fingers crossed for the return of the beet lollipop. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Those bands are pretty bad. LOL When they have to tell you what "big hit" they sang just so you might recognize them, and/or it's a variation of the original group name because there are hardly any members of the original group in it... As for the food booths, I have my fingers crossed for the return of the beet lollipop. TCD :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 To me The Guess Who aren't really The Guess Who without Burton Cummings and to a lesser extent Randy Bachman. I wouldn't mind seeing the Gin Blossoms but the rest are ho hum as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 From the Disney Food Blog... New Bonitas Botánico Outdoor Kitchen Coming to World ShowcaseFirst and foremost, the FOOD! A brand new Outdoor Kitchen will debut in 2015. Bonitas Botánico will be located between the France and Morocco Pavilions. This is the area that was occupied by the Brazil Marketplace Booth during the 2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, so we’re wondering if this will be a featured gathering spot of sorts. We’re Wondering if the Puerto Rico Marketplace Booth from the Food and Wine Festival May Do Double Duty as the Bonitas Botánico Outdoor Kitchen During Flower and Garden! From the menu, we’re guessing that the influence will be South American in general, and Venezuelan in particular. At any rate, we can’t wait to see the set up! Speaking of the menu, we already have a few details. Dishes here will include Cachapas, a sweet corn cake similar to a pancake. They’ll be served in a traditional manner with a fresh Farmer’s Cheese. Seafood Ceviche featuring a mixture of Shrimp, Scallops, and Grouper will be paired with Mango and Avocado. The stand will also offer La Tizana, a punch that includes Fresh Fruit. Enjoy the non-alcoholic version, or “punch” it up a bit with the addition of Venezuelan Santa Teresa RHUM Orange Liqueur. We’re looking forward to trying it all! http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2015/01/26/news-new-outdoor-kitchen-debuts-at-epcot-flower-and-garden-festival-plus-menu-details-and-garden-rocks-concert-line-up/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 New merchandise coming for the 2015 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival - including a new line of Dooney & Bourke purses - from the Disney Parks Blog... First Look at New Products Coming to 2015 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at Epcotposted on February 10th, 2015 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager We are about a month away from the start of the 2015 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. Since winter weather blankets most of North America, I figured a look ahead to spring was a perfect idea. I recently dug up details about new items guests will see starting March 4 when this annual festival returns to Walt Disney World Resort. The merchandise events team has created a variety of items especially for this event including apparel, drinkware, accessories and more. These items will be released at the Festival Center, a themed shopping and demonstration area located between Mission: SPACE and Universe of Energy pavilions at Epcot. This year, the Sorcerer Mickey topiary takes center stage as the main logo on several items including a coffee mug, magnet, and tote bag (the mug features a hidden broom topiary image inside). I love the new topiary-inspired headband with a Sorcerer’s hat and a gardening hat with mouse ears. The Disney pin team created several limited edition pins featuring the topiaries that will be found throughout the theme park including the new Anna and Elsa topiaries inspired by Disney’s “Frozen”. Olaf from Disney’s “Frozen” will join Mickey and Minnie Mouse as new garden decorations (the thought of Olaf next to the rain gauge makes me laugh!). Finally, we will release a new Dooney & Bourke collection designed by Disney Design Group artist Paola Gutierrez. This black-and-white pattern shows silhouettes of Disney characters riding vintage bicycles (you may recall seeing the artwork in this story from early January. Select bags released during the Festival will include a specially designed hangtag. There are no immediate plans to carry these bags at Disneyland Resort or on our Disney Parks online store; they will only be found at Epcot during this initial release. Stay tuned as I’ll provide a first look inside the Festival Center around the start of the event in March. I’ll also have details about a new retail MagicBand created for this event that you won’t want to let go. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/02/first-look-at-new-products-coming-to-2015-epcot-international-flower-garden-festival-at-epcot/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
